The Upcoming Releases thread

JBnaglfar

I thought it might be an idea to get a thread going for some general discussion about albums that are soon to be released. Obviously, many of the bigger bands tend to get a thread of their own for new releases, but there are lots of albums being released that I am sure would be of interest to many on here but seem to get little or no discussion. This should also help to keep up with new releases, I had forgotten about Amon Amarth's new album until someone mentioned it in the thread coming up to their recent gig here. Should be good for finding new music too.

Here are a couple of new albums out soon that I am interested in to get started.
Symphony X's new album Iconoclast is due for release in June. Just listened to one song, The End of Innocence, which has been put up on youtube. Sounds decent, although not too much of a departure from Paradise Lost. Having said that, Symphony X have failed to disappoint me yet, and I expect this to be one of the albums of the year.

The other soon-to-be-released album that I have just heard about is the new Anvil album, Juggernaut of Justice (nice to see them continue their pattern of album titles:pac:). Its great to know that they are still working away and releasing new stuff. New song here.

Anyone else looking forward to these, or have any other new albums to discuss?

I'm looking forward to Anaal Nathrakh's next album, Passion. Out on the 17th of May, I'm hoping it'll be as good as In The Constellation of the Black Widow.

Also have Shining (The Swedish one, not the Norwegian one) releasing a new one on the 25th of May, Född förlorare.

Arch Enemy will have Khaos Legions out in early June, which should be awesome. They've released a single from it already too:

That Arch Enemy song is pretty good. Will definitely check out their new album.

I'm definitely looking forward to that. I wasn't overly impressed with their last album but some of their other stuff is absolutely brilliant.

This Will Destroy You - Tunnel Blanket
Released:
Europe - May 9, 2011
Rest of the world - May 10, 2011

Wikipedia:
The band describe their new sound as being darker and heavier, referring to it as "doomgaze", a portmanteau of doom metal and shoegaze.

I think it's brilliant, but I have a natural affinity for it, as I've had for all of their releases.

I have only heard some of their stuff, but what I know sounds great. Haven't gotten any of their albums or anything. I might check this one out. Do they have any promo videos or anything for the new album?

JBnaglfar

If anyone is interested, Anvil's new album is available to stream for free on their myspace page.

This beauty will be in the stores this w/end.:)

I've been listening to a few songs from it on youtube. It sounds immense.

Ghost and Deconstruction by Devin Townsend are both being released on June 20th.

^ A song from Deconstruction. If the rest of the album stays in the vein of this, it'll be pretty intense.

Mikael Akerfeldt, Ihsahn, Greg Puciato, Fredrik Thordendal and others guest on Deconstruction too.

If Addicted and Ki are anything to go by, these two albums will be absolutely fantastic. The mellow, chilled Ghost and the heavy, relentless Deconstruction.

Cool album covers too.

Deconstruction leaked a few hours ago, but the tracker for the site that has it has gone down.

Mastodon have an album coming out which features Dave Grohl.

Steven Wilson will have a solo album out too.

Interesting. I heard he's a big fan of the band. Probably just vocals though, can't really see him trying to play some of the stuff Brent comes up with on the guitar, or even the stuff Brann plays. Would probably have Scott Kelly on it as well, given his appearance on their last three albums.

Anything Josh does, Dave does. In this case, its working with Mastodon.

Updated info from Steven Wilson solo:

"The new solo album website will probably launch in early June now. The music is done, but we're still working on film material and the deluxe edition. It's presented as two 40-45 minute albums in the same package (which begs the question; when is a double album not a double album? When it's 2 single albums issued together!) The album titles are "Deform to Form a Star" and "Like Dust I Have Cleared From My Eye"

So thats TWO new albums then;)

I got it this morning. Great gig. It brought back good memories from the 2 times they played here on that tour. I wonder was there crap transport to/from gigs in Argentina as well or is it just here?

The documentary extra is a bit short though.

I got it a while ago. It didn't really grab me but there wasn't anything necessarily wrong with it. I'd say if you're a Devildriver fan you'll like it.

I've only had a chance to watch the first twenty minutes or so but the picture and audio quality are fantastic. Memories of Punchestown.:)
